Former Trump defense attorney on why the impeachment trial is unconstitutional

The Senate on Tuesday voted 56-44 that putting Donald Trump on trial is constitutional, a move refuted by the former president's legal team. Robert Ray was a member of Trump’s defense team from his first Senate impeachment trial and an independent counsel in the Whitewater investigation into President Clinton. He joins Judy Woodruff to discuss why he thinks the latest trial is unconstitutional.
